TREASURY TOPICS.
The Presidents Views OH the
Bonds bidding.

WASHINGTON, September 13.-In
regard to the purchase of bonds by
the Government, the President said,
yesterday: Criticism on the action of
the Treasury Department for its re-
fusal to accept any of the offers of
bonds last Wednesday, it seems to
me, is inconsiderately made. In the
first place, the offers were higher,
considering the lapse OF time they had
to run, than they had heretofore been,
and did not present as favorable
terms to the Government. In the
next place, the number affixed was
much less than on former occasions.
These facts may well give rise to the
inference that people holding bonds
preferred them to money"
